Gram Vikas founders came to Orissa in the early 1970s as student volunteers to serve victims of a devastating cyclone.

Through its direct outreach programmes Gram Vikas works in 943 villages across 23 districts covering 59,132 families of which 39% are adivasis, 14% are dalits and the remainder are from general castes, mostly poor and marginal farmers.
